Kyushu Team Tour of Osaka
Robert Gayst writes:
The Kyushu team will be making a tour to Osaka. The last
time we went there was in June 1998, exactly two years ago where the honours
were shared 1 win each.
The Kyushu and Osaka teams have had a fine tradition
toghether since their first game back in October 1996 and have managed
to organise games against each other at least once a year.Games have always
been played in a competitive but friendly atmosphere.
The Osaka team visited Fukuoka last July with the first
game being washed out. The second game was a very tight affair with Fukuoka
just getting the verdict by half a dozen runs.No doubt the Bulldogs in
Osaka will be waiting with sharp and shiny teeth for our arrival next month.We`re
looking forward to a great battle.
Six games have been played between the two teams since
1996 with Osaka holding a 4-2 lead.
Games schedule: June 10th and 11th.

What a pisser (Osaka Bulldogs)!
First game of the season,and after spending over two
hours to get to Sanda,the heavens opened up and didn't stop all day.What
a pisser!
So we all adjourned to a local restaurant/bar and spent
all afternoon doing the usual thing,ie:regaling each other with cricketing
tales,predicting retribution in the forthcoming Kansai Ashes series,drinking,eating
ect.I played "think while you drink" for about 5 hours non-stop and came
away with a bit of a headache.
Proceeding were livened up a bit with Sunny Barollia's
"shish kebabing" of a near-tearful young waiter,but hey..we are after all,the
Osaka Bulldogs.
Next week we play Nova,who if accounts are to believed,will
reveal their two new English wondermen.
We all look forward to the return of Gavin,Brennan and
Alan from a land down under or near abouts.
